Update: legally it’s now a list that violates the privacy of various ordinary citizens who have done nothing wrong.

He’s just a symptom of the real problem, which is that he exposed himself as a nazi a long time ago and still got reelected.

Yes, the President can be impeached and removed by Congress. On the opposite side of the coin a President can veto laws passed by Congress, which Congress can override but it’s harder than passing a law. The problem is when Congress also goes nazi at the same time. In that case we’re fucked. In fact I think Article 97 sub-paragraph E13/W even says, “Such conditions and circumstances shall by Law constitute Fuckage.”

For friends and family I use my phone’s IM. For total strangers on lemmy I just use Reply.

You’re already here.

America is a big place, and how people will react to you depends entirely on where you go. Racial incidents increased after Trump took office in 2016 and they probably will again now, but in general you’re totally safe.

“All your ideas are ours and you owe us money for thinking them” is actually a good summary of anti-AI sentiment.

Software dev myself (retired) and I’ve been very skeptical about AI generated code, but a friend of mine uses it daily in his work. During one of our in-person D&D games he told it to create a SQL Lite app to keep track of some game info, and in seconds he was using the app. AI is currently a super-emotional issue riddled with misinformation and fantasy, but there’s no denying its usefulness.

Well, reading comprehension hasn’t changed. I said “most” not “everyone”. Amazingly the world isn’t binary.

It made a bold move, Cotton.

But a living human artist also learned to draw dancing cows and roombas on the moon that way. It just didn’t take thousands.

My question is why this logic doesn’t apply to anybody who learns anything and goes on to use that knowledge in their work without explicit permission. For example, authors generally learn to be good authors by reading the work of other good authors. Do they morally owe all past authors a share of whatever money they make?

Honest opinion: IDGAF where people login. Market share is for corporations to worry about.

IMO we’re here because of the 10 million Democrats who voted for Biden in 2000 and refused to show up in 2024. Bonespurs only won by a little over 2 million. Harris should have kicked his ass, but oh now, she “supports genocide”. Last week the long, difficult Gaza ceasefire negotiation process finally paid off. Funny how nobody’s talking much about it.

They can indoctrinate for a while, but education (as opposed to vocational training) inherently encourages critical thinking skills that make people progressively more resistant to the indoctrination.

Investing in education is the mark of a rising nation. Imposing lifelong debt for it is the mark of a falling one.

By “new aristocracy” I think you mean “entrenched aristocracy getting worse”.

If you ask a question and you say, “but don’t say the answer,” you’re just asking for an echo chamber.

Car user manuals used to tell you how to refill the battery. Now they tell you not to drink what’s in the battery.
